Sweet aroma with a hint of green melon
No sense of gas.
The fruity aroma felt on the first sip, the full, smooth sweetness, and the umami of the rice spread out.
They are quickly followed by a pungent bitterness combined with mild acidity, leaving behind a faint sweet aroma.
A full but dignified sake.
It went well with dried hokke, chilled tofu, and pasta (homemade Bolognese).
